The employment discrimination act is regulated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The act is designed to protect employees from workplace discrimination. Discrimination comes in several forms and includes inequity based on gender, age, and race to name a few. There are several specific federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination. These laws include the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991, the Equal Pay act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In addition, there are other federal laws that prohibit discrimination but are not enforced by the EEOC. For example, the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 details regulations against employment discrimination via the Office of Personnel Management.
